Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung zur Planung taktischer Wagenrouten im Einzelwagenverkehr

An economic view on rerouting railway wagons in a single wagonload network to avoid congestion

“…The evaluation of train costs and shunting costs should also be critically questioned, as they are stated very differently in [13] and [14]. In this work relatively low shunting costs were assumed compared to the abovementioned up to 150 € per shunting of a railway wagon.…”

“…In this study from 2007 it is stated that the traction costs are 12-15 € per train per km and about 150 € for shunting a railway wagon [13]. Voll stated that costs 6 € per train kilometre and shunting costs of 25 € per railway wagon were accurate according to DB Cargo internal sources [14]. The costs of shunting are about a factor of 6 lower than those of the European Commission study.…”

“…To obtain the optimal objective function value, the model must therefore find the best composition of train and shunting costs for the total transport volume. In [13] and [14] is stated, that the costs of train operation are primarily dependent on the distance a train has to travel, whereby the shunting costs get accumulated to a value for each shunting process.…”
